The mortality in tn present congress
alone, without counting others in prom
inent positions, has been frightful. Sen
ator Logan make the thirteenth member
of the hole body and the third senator to
die within n year. Members Of the house
are beginning TO get IL little frightened
about the ~unsanitary condition of the
beautiful chamber in which they sit,
which n late report has emphasized. As
the ease was in the good old days, when
architects built Greek temples for work
shops without taking into consideration
hat the climate OF modern America and
ancient Greece were about as unlike rs
could be imagined, the Capitol was planned
solely with Il view to looks. The accous-
tics are bad, except in the supreme court
room, and Us for the air in the house it is
something fearful. 1t was supposed that
large fans. pumping thousands of cubic
feet Of mir in the hall would purify it. but
the air is drawn from below and merely
brings up all the damp and mold nnd
sepulchral atmosphere OF the crypt, wher,
con and wood and ashes and millions o
pounds Of old paper are stored. The blam,
for this state Of affairs cannot be hid OF
the present architect, who has palliated a.
far as possible all that can be palliated il
IL radically wrong system. The building
had to be lighted. heated and ventilate,
without the slightest real provision beinl
made for any in the original plan.-Nev

The Effects OF Mental Exhaustion

Many diseases, especially those of the
nervous system, are the products of daily
renewed mental exhaustion. Business
avocations often involve an amount of
mental wear and tear very prejudicial to
physical health, and the professions, if
arduously pursued, are no less destructive
to brain and nerve tissue. 1t is one of the
most important attributes of Hostetter's
Stomach Bittcrs that it compensates for
this undue loss of tissue, and that it i'm
parts new energy to the brain and nerves.
The rapidity with which it renews weak
ened mental energy and physical vitality Is
remarkable, and shows that its invigorat-
ing properties are of the highest order.
Besides increasing vital stamina, and
counteracting the effects of mental ex-
haustion, this potential medicine cures
and prevents fever and ague, rheumatism,
chronic dyspepsia and constipation, kid
ney and uterine weaknesses and other
complaints. Physicians also commend it
as a medicated stimulant and remedy.

hardly believe, said Mrs. Arthurs, that
the law will permit this infamous marriage
TO stand. 1t it should be decided binding,
Nina's life will be wrecked In %conclu-
sion Mrs. Arthurs said: Since this una
voidable notoricty has been thrust upon
us, | have been deluged with letters from
all parts of the country soliciting money
and rendering kindly advice in regard to
the distribution of my wealth, in the
